  • Patent number: 11965413
    Abstract: A monitoring system is for a well stream from a hydrocarbon well with seawater injection. The monitoring system includes a sample receiving system, a sample preparation system, an analyzing system, and a pressure control and measurement system. The monitoring system is connectable to a sample point for receiving a sample of the well stream. The sample receiving system includes a fluid conduit connectable for fluid communication with the sample point, and a separator for separating a water fraction from the sample. The sample preparation system includes a filter for filtering the water fraction. The analyzing system includes an x-ray fluorescence analyzer for measurement of a concentration of at least one of dissolved elements Fe, Ba, Ca, S, Cl, P, Cu, Zn, Pb, Br or scale inhibitor tracers in the sample. The pressure control and measurement system is connected to the sample receiving system or the sample preparation system.

  • Publication number: 20230193018
    Abstract: A toy building element made of recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (“ABS”) material and manufactured by processing, of a resin comprising, mechanically recycled ABS polymers and/or chemically recycled ABS polymers recovered from a solvent dissolution recycling process. A method for the manufacture of a toy building element includes providing and screening an ABS waste material. The method includes recovering recycled ABS polymers from the screened ABS waste material by subjecting the ABS waste material to grinding and/or a solvent dissolution recycling process. The method includes obtaining a resin by mixing the recovered ABS polymers with one or more additive(s) and optionally one or more ABS polymers selected from the group consisting of virgin ABS polymers, chemically recycled ABS polymers recovered from pyrolysis and chemically recycled ABS polymers recovered from chemical depolymerisation. The method thereafter includes manufacturing the toy building element by processing the resin.
